Hi there! My name is Kiki and I am a sweet and spunky 3 month old female, weighing in around 12 pounds. They say I’m a medium mixed breed and absolutely adorable. I’ve been told my fur is so soft and that my markings are beautiful.

I have been with my foster mom for about 2 weeks and I am learning so much from her and her older dog. I call him the Sheriff because he lets me and my brother know if we’re playing too hard and how to be good puppies. So far I let my foster mom know a few things:

🐾 I love to snuggle and give kisses and I love my foster mom. Although there are no children in my foster home, I have expressed the desire to be around kids and would make the perfect furry companion to a wonderful home.
🐾 I am very playful and enjoy my Nyla bones, squeaky toys and tennis balls!
🐾 I am so excited to have other dogs here because I like to play with them or be near them. I haven’t encountered any cats yet.
🐾 I used to not like my crate but my foster mom taught me it’s not so bad. When she says “Cookie Time! Or Who wants Cookies?!” I race my brother in to the crate for my cookie. My foster mom says I’m smart, a quick learner and such a good girl. I love being a good girl!
🐾 I am amazing at potty skills. My foster mom hung bells at the door and showed me how to use them once and I got it! I still need to work on it, but I’m getting better at it everyday. I already know to go outside and on wee pads.
🐾 I love going outside, even in the cold. I follow the older dog outside every time, even if I just went potty. I love running and eating the snow.
🐾 I am food motivated, so I will be easy to train. I let my foster mom know that I already know “sit” and my name. She said I’m so smart!
🐾 I am so happy to be safe in Michigan now and I can’t wait to meet my furever family.
Fill out an adoption application if interested in bring this cutie pie into your family.
Based out of West Bloomfield.

Meet Casper, the friendly 11-month-old, German shepherd/Husky mix. He weighs about 70lbs and is neutered. He is looking for his forever home, could that be with you?

Casper is a youngster so is learning how to behave. He is house trained, and working on crate training. He first barks when going in the crate but settles down. He does like to chew things so he learning that is what toys are for and is being redirected. He is learning manners like ‘Drop It’, ‘Leave it”, ‘Off”. He loves to run in the backyard to release his energy. He does come when called. He chases the cats in the household, so probably best to not have cats in his forever home. He is very sweet and would love a family.

Complete an adoption application if Casper might be the one for you! Based out of West Bloomfield.

King is searching for his FOREVER! 🐾❤️ Please help us find it by sharing!

King is an 18 month old, neutered male, Goldendoodle. He is very well-behaved and loves cuddling. He knows basic commands very well, sit, down, place, as well as some others. He has mastered a treat puzzle on the first try. He does not bark much unless he sees someone walking by the house. King likes to stay close to his family at all times. He has done well staying in his crate or roaming the home during short periods of time while this foster was away (2-4 hours). He loves his walks and responds to “heel” if he’s going too fast. King enjoys car rides. He is unsure of men at first, but has shown once he has a moment to warm up he's fine. He also needs a moment to warm up when introduced to other dogs. He is not good with small dogs and prefers female larger dogs. King has not been around cats or young children so it is not known how he would behave. His previous owner advised King has a sensitive stomach and has been eating a food for sensitivity.
Complete an adoption application if you are interested in making King’s dream come true! Based out of West Bloomfield.

What's a microchip??? 🐶
Microchips are recommended by most veterinarians and major animal welfare organizations, and there are many benefits of microchipping your dog. 
🐾 Microchipping a dog involves implanting a small electronic ID tag under a dog's skin. When read by a scanner, a microchip conveys owner information. 
🐾 Microchips provide permanent identification - Once a microchip is implanted, you never have to replace it! Collars can get forgotten, or your dog might panic and leave your property without their collar on. 
🐾 If your pet becomes lost without a collar/ID, vets and shelters have a microchip reader to help find their home.
🐾 It's a safe and simple procedure - Microchipping a dog is a safe and fast procedure - a simple injection that takes seconds.
🐾 Microchips are more affordable than people think.

Meet Gail and her daughter, Lauren of Almost Home

About Us

Almost Home Animal Rescue League was founded in 1999 by Gail Montgomery Schwartz and Lauren Montgomery Anchill.  The mother and daughter team became disheartened while volunteering at various animal shelters.

Being of the ‘never kill’ philosophy, they were disturbed by the endless euthanasia practiced simply because animals were born homeless and society felt there was no place for them.

Gail and Lauren wanted a huge difference in our animals’ lives.  Almost Home became the first Never Kill 501 (c)(3) animal rescue organization.  Almost Home is the one and only pure never kill organization.  It’s truly a place for dogs and cats to not only feel safe but to be safe.

We are so proud of our work and all the people who are instrumental in saving lives with us.  Here’s to being the model never kill animal rescue.  Love to all.  Peace and good life to all.
